Wholly Reformed

“	I used to be nothing but trouble but then I met you guys. You took me in, you showed me the importance of being brave, the importance of being strong, and most importantly, being good.	„
	~ Lloyd's speech to the ninja in the Season 2 finale.

“	You know, before I ended up in Amphibia, I didn't care about right and wrong: I just did what was easy, I let people walk all over me. And I think, that's because I didn't love myself, not really. But meeting you three has changed all of that. And these months we spent together has showed me the person I really wanna be.	„
	~ Anne Boonchuy tells the Plantar family how her time in Amphibia helped her become a better person

“	Experiences of the past have formed who I am now, and that flawed performance has also become the most important part of me.	„
	~ Furina about how she learned from her deception plot to save the Fontainians.

Though Pure Goods always lack corrupting qualities, not all of them started out this way. Some may have been villains in the past, or others may have possessed unpleasant or pernicious traits, like being a heroic jerk or arrogant. However, these heroes will always shed these corrupting traits as time goes on, and ultimately be devoid of them. Hence, these types of Pure Goods can be described as Wholly Reformed, as they have changed for the better and realized the wrongs of their corrupting qualities. They may not have started out as heroes, but they certainly have become better than that.

For obvious reasons, Redeemed Villains fall under this category by default. However, not all characters under this category are redeemed villains. Some could be a From Zero to Hero. Since redeemed villains also fall under Corruption Rejection by default, several but not all of the characters under this category are also under Corruption Rejection, even ones who aren't redeemed villains, and vice versa.

Not all characters who end up changing over the course of a story end up here. Some, such as Izuku Midoriya, have an arc that involves growing out of their initial naivete, or some other flaw that does not count as a corrupting factor.

Please do not add Pure Goods here who only faked corrupting qualities. For example, Pure Goods such as Haku, Peach, Horace Nebbercracker, Bruno Madrigal and Esmeralda are not allowed to be added to this category since they were never implied to have had actual corrupting qualities, even if they seemed or acted that way to other characters. Those heroes should go under Misguided, Hidden Pure Goods and/or False Antagonists. However, characters can apply if they had genuine corrupting qualities in the past.

Also, heroes who originally had other preventions like being too standard, too amoral, too incompetent, or being reliant on fridge brilliance but got more admirable, more competent, more motives, and/or more personality, being taken more lightly, motives and characterization should not be added here either (e.g. Vision, Tari (Meta Runner), Rosalina, Cream the Rabbit, and Winston Deavor) unless they've explicitly been established to have had corrupting qualities. In general, this category is only for heroes who once had genuine corrupting qualities but ended up subverting and/or losing all of them.

Their Pure Evil equivalent is Wholly Debased.
